RKSL Studios Puma HC1 v2.010 Released

[rksl-rock 1300]

[h=3]We are proud to announce another updated release of the RAF Puma HC1[/h] As with the Merlin, this is STILL a BETA. The updated RKSL Flare System meant that everything else had to be reworked and re-released. So its best just to think of this as yet another Work in progress. It is definitely is not finished yet. You'll have to wait for ArmA3's versions for that.

This addon is a representation of the Royal Air Force’s Puma HC1 Medium Lift Helicopter. ArmA3 will see another incarnation of the models. There will be new models and new versions using the base model both for the UK Faction and IAP mod.

We hope you enjoy it.

[h=3]Rock[/h]Features

• RKSL Dynamic Rotor System (DRS) - Fully animated pitching rotor blade movement.
  
• Armed and Unarmed versions

Notes

There are a few known issues. Please check the Bug Tracker on the RKSL site before posting.

1. All Textures are WIP.
   
2. Several of the cockpit instruments are blank
   
3. Cockpit textures are really crap :P
   
4. Cockpit SMDI is too shiny
   
5. GPMG has no RVMATs
   
6. GPMG Texture is poorly optimised.
   
7. AI pilots get a bit excited and fly erratically at low speed. This has been reduced in this version but it is still possible.

I'm starting to dislike words like "Yet" and "Finally"... ;)

There maybe another update after these. I've realised that there are a few things missing that should be there and arent.

I imagine you would after so many years of hearing it... From me especially. ;)

And missing things like what? Thermal maps?

Great update on one of my favourite helo's :)

Such as? :confused:

Also, in piddling around with the new Puma, pitch is a crapload slower than roll. Is this intentional?

Just some fixes, little tweaks that were done on the dev build that I forgot to re-integrate onto the public one.

And yes the pitch rate is intentional. It is for the AI. It stops the AI from freaking out and losing control. If you observe the way the AI fly they dont roll. They just use the Pitch, stop turn, pitch, stop turn etc. Having the slow pitch and the faster roll still give the human pilot the "proper" feel while giving the AI a more stable model they need to fly. Like most things in this game its a compromise necessary to make the Puma practical in game.
